I just finished a tribute to the 1959 Washburn Corvette that was such a terror on the Pacific coast 1959-1962 in the hands of Bob Bondurant and others.  The kit was IMC's 1960 Vette, but I'm calling it a 1959.  The decals are from the excellent Vintage Racing Miniatures for both cars pictured.  The other car is a tribute to Washburn's 1963 Sting Ray, the last successful Corvette prior to the Cobra "dark days."

Excellent source material is Corvette Thunder by Dave Friedman.  I have built several cars inspired by this book.

Hey, nice looking Vette. I did the same car a few years back with those decals. Great decals. I still have the rest for the 63. I need to convert my diecast into his race car.
